Today in GOP stupidity

 Two weeks ago, President Pampers (Donald Trump) was making demands regarding the Gordie Howe Bridge, which is one of the links between the US & Canada, and falsely (of course) claimed that China would "terminate" hockey in Canada.

As usual, the Joe Isuzu of politics didn't know what he was talking about. 

On Sunday, Trump cancelled plans to attend the men's hockey final at the Olympics between the US & Canada, and instead sent FBI Misdirector "Counterfeit" Kash Patel as a proxy. Mirroring the women's gold medal victory three days earlier, the Americans won their first men's gold medal since the "Miracle on Ice" team coached by Herb Brooks won it all in Lake Placid 46 years ago. Patel partied with the men's team after the game, which, of course, led to much resentment back at home, since he was traveling on taxpayer dollars.


Here's what real winners look like, Dumb Donald!

Rangers coach Mike Sullivan guided the men's team to the gold, and, as previously noted, Rangers announcer Kenny Albert called the game for NBC. Coincidentally, Brooks would coach the Rangers at the end of his career.

Unfortunately, not everyone in the misadministration was happy with the result.

White House Propaganda Minister Steven Cheung whined when Canada's Connor McDavid was named men's tournament MVP. Apparently, Cheung didn't pay much attention to the actual games, or doesn't understand hockey at all. Cheung made the accusation that the MVP vote was, well, fixed. No, it wasn't. McDavid, a star player for the NHL's Edmonton Oilers, earned the honor. They do give such awards to players on losing teams every now and then. 

Meanwhile, Dumb Donald is calling on Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos to remove Susan Rice, a former adviser to former President Barack Obama, from the streamer's board of directors. Loopy Laura Loomer got Trump bent out of shape with lies about Rice. If Loomer would stop sticking her nose where it doesn't belong (and this applies to anyone in Trump's orbit, including Trump himself), she wouldn't feed the Archduke of Affluenza's need for attention. Sarandos addressed the issue while at the BAFTA Awards in England, stating that the planned merger between Netflix & Warner Bros. Discovery is a business deal, not political, though Donnie Diapers is pushing his friends, the Ellisons, the dorks in charge of Paramount-Skydance, to acquire WBD away from Netflix.

Do us all a favor, President Pampers. Do the job you're supposed to, and leave everything else alone, left for more responsible people to address. We do need mature adults in Washington, after all...........
